we are leaving in april and our concern is you are only allowed 7kg / 15lbs for carry on whick in our case is 1reg set , 3mm full wet suit and mini laptop = 12lbs that leaves 3 lbs for bathing suit and clothes , im wondering whether my camercase which weights 22lbs will qualify as a personal item
When I flew out of Nadi Air Pacific they had a little set of domestic scales by the hand luggage secuirty scanning and weighed the carry on bag. I was a bit over but when I explained it was because I wanted to carry on my camera gear they let me through without extra costs, once they had inspected it..
I doubt you would get away with claiming the camera case as personal. It is the tropics -you don't need many clothes!
